Viva Lost Wages
Besides being 61 years since Oppenheimer became Shiva [1], it was one year
ago today that I flew out to Las Vegas with my friend Hoade [2].
I must not have finished _Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince_ [3] since I
haven't finished (or even started) the write up of the trip. I still have the
notes, on 88 5×3″ pages (a small wirebound notebook).

I really need to finish up writing about the trip, which included a sidetrip
to Rachel, Nevada [6] which was eerily quiet (quiet enough to hear our shoes
squeaking as we walked). I also forgot about the Chinese cook who threatened
us with his mad martial knife arts at the Hôtel San Rémo buffet.
I really need to get this written up.
